Grapes: 100% Pinot Noir

Almost all Champagne is a blend of grapes from many different vineyards, sometimes hundreds of different vineyards in the case of the large negociant Champagnes. At Coessens, however, all wines come from Jérôme’s single 5.5-acre parcel in the village of Ville-sur-Arce. 

He calls his vineyard parcel “l’Argillier”, so named due to the high concentration of clay (Argile) in the limestone and chalk-based soils on his hillside. The clay brings a great sense of power and depth to the wines, matched with the bright acidity and richness of fruit. These are serious wines, rich and concentrated, and impeccably made in miniscule quantities.
